Thread: Puppies and small rabbit/ hare bones

With the other dogs around, I wouldn't be feeding any high desire thing like a bone to any dog without standing there making sure it doesn't turn into a fight. Even giving them all bones at the same time, will either make them eat it too quickly trying to eat it before another dog comes to take it, or 1 dog finishes first so then goes for a bone that hasn't been eaten yet by the pup.
You could just slice some of the meat off the leg and freeze it, then give it to the pup while you wait for it to be eaten, to make sure another dog doesn't try to take it. Even the best of mates can and do get into a fight over food as prized as a bone. It only takes 1 second for a big dog to give a pup a "warning" chomp, and it's big money at the vets or even worse.

After having Rocky my huntaway for a few months, he decided he would try to take my Rottie boys bone and got a warning chomp. That 1 was only $500 at the vets so 1 of my cheaper bills, but if rocky had been a pup and not a 2 year old it would likely have been a much worse result.
